| [[User:Singkong2005|Chris Watkins a.k.a. Chriswaterguy]] <small><sup>[[User talk:Singkong2005|talk]]</sup></small> proposes that [[:Category:International development|international development]] and [[:Category:sustainability|sustainability]] issues would be best dealt with on a single wiki - see this discussion: [[User:Singkong2005/Merging sustainability and development wikis|'''Merging sustainability and development wikis''']]. Localized wikis (e.g. a "Sustainability in Brownsville" kind of topic) would be best as part of a larger wiki rather than separate, in my opinion, and I'd like to help make that an attractive and simple option for local groups.
| | See the discussion and proposal on Appropedia, about [http://www.appropedia.org/Appropedia:Synergy merging sustainability and development wikis]. |
| | |
| No need to list all wikis, if they are already in the linked categories.
| |
| *[[:Category:International development]], including:
| |
| **[http://www.appropedia.org Appropedia] is currently the most active. Having merged with Village Earth's wiki it's now the leading "[http://www.appropedia.org/Portal:Appropriate_technology Appropriate Technology Wiki'''] as well as billing itself as "The Sustainability Wiki".
| |
| *[[:Category:Sustainability]] wikis, including:
| |
| **[[PermaWiki]] (inactive) - permaculture people are often interested in appropriate technology, and vice versa, and both permaculture people and appropriate technology have a concern for sustainability.
| |
| *[[:Category:Environment]] & [[:Category:Ecology]] wikis - these might be a bit different, but much overlap with sustainability. Is there any reason ''not'' to consider the option of merging with environment wikis?
| |
| * [http://www.howtopedia.org Howtopedia] - specifically for how-to pages.
| |
| * [http://www.greenlivingpedia.org/ Greenlivingpedia] - in discussion with Appropedia, but for now exploring its own direction, look and focus.

| ===Name===
| |
| If several international development and/or sustainability-related wikis merge, what name should we choose? Something broad and positive is good. (Note: this debate went on for some time at Appropedia, and it was decided to stick with ''Appropedia''. The discussion is left here though - a name change would still be an option if an amazing name was coined.)
| |
| *'''WinWinWiki'''? The owner of that name (Curt Beckmann) is happy for it to be used for this purpose.
| |
| *'''Appropedia'''? Suits its focus on "appropriate technology"; arguably not broad enough for the merged wiki.
